eCos-3.0 port for OpenRISC

Published:

During our work with the OpenRISC platform we were missing our favourite real-time operating system – eCos. Although some porting work had been performed earlier, the eCos port was no longer supported. With the development of the OpenRISC project, as a result of toolchain and other changes, it had stopped working.

Also, it was based on the now obsolete 2.0 version of eCos.

We decided that a freshly updated eCos port could be useful both in our work and for the OpenRISC community, and here it is!

On http://opencores.org/or1k/ECos you will find the associated wiki page and from there you can download the code, of which Peter Gielda is the maintainer on behalf of Antmicro.
